Sync Metadata Checklist
The metadata that makes your music placeable in film, TV, and ads.
- BPM
- Key
- Primary + secondary mood
- Genre + sub-genre
- Instrumentation list
- Vocal / instrumental flag
- Tempo descriptor (slow / mid / upbeat)
- Writer / composer splits documented
- Zero uncleared samples (confirmed)
Supervisors place the track that's easiest to clear and cut. Metadata is the opportunity. This guide does not guarantee placements.
Action: Prepare 3–5 tracks with full sync metadata.
